Pros

Great pay and flexibility. Lots of perks. Everyone in the industry trusts the Keyence brand.

Cons

A lot of travel. There is so much internal work proving that you are doing your job, that it hinders you from doing the job. So many metrics that even the managers have a tough time keeping up and change strategies mid way through the quarter.

Pros

Relatively good pay out of school some products are cool.

Cons

Essentially all the negatives of typical Japanese work culture. Expect everyone to work as hard as a salesman and bonus was significantly and consistently below the expected payout regardless of performance. Perfection is the expectation- mistakes are weighted very negatively against you compared with the positive weight of things done well. No real upward mobility- only reserved for sales. Only internal hires/college graduates so employees don't question treatment.

Pros

Unlimited overtime provided you're continuing to be beneficial to the company while getting overtime.

Cons

Culture, Career development, management, experience. Unless you're early in your career, I probably wouldn't advise getting into this role. If you're a tech person, I highly recommend looking else where as this role really doesn't have anything to provide you in terms of technical development. Can't speak for the other sectors of the company.
